rANDrYG OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Notes.

The Portland game at Lowell is the only
one scheduled for the New England League
today.
Hatfield of the Portlands has stolen more
bases than Ian any professional player in the
Madden. Wheelock and 0'Rourke were
among the members of the Boston club who
were fined S25 each Tor the violation Of the
rules. After the hard work Madden has
done for the team this season 1t looks like
pretty small business to fine him when
word q caution would probably had as good
an effect. IL Is no wonder Boston can get no
work out Of its team.
Several Portland people who have wit
messed recent games on the Boston grounds
say the exhibitions given there by the Bos-
tons are not much like what one would
infer from reading the Boston papers. They
express surprise now that the Haverhills
did not beat them, and think that II the
Portlands play their usual game In the COM
without much trouble.
The Salem News says of Tuesdays game
After all 1t would seem that there Is a
chance to have the game declared for Salem,
as the seventh inning was not completed,
according to Manager Putnam, and by all
pleted even innings, which would leave the
score 10 TO D in favor OF Salem. The point Is
worth consideration" Several people In
this city have had the same idea, but It Is a

National playing rules, says But IL the
side that went second to the bat Is then at
the bat, and has scored the same number OF
runs as the other side, the umpire shall de-
clare the game drawn, without regard to the
score Of the last equal inning.
The next league game that the Portlands
play after today, unless some postponed
games can be played off, will be with the
Lynns In this city next Thursday. In the
meantime exhibition games will be arranged

two Monday, and will therefore meet the
Salems andManehesters twice and the LynLs
once before the Portlands play again.

sAco's SENSATION.
Theory that Medically stole the
Bonds Month Ago.
Speculation as to What the Thief
VIII Do With His PIunder.
Canada Searched but Baffled petec-
tIves Find No Clue.

SAoo, Sept. 1.-The excitement over the
Saco bank robbery is at just as high a pitch
as it was when the news Of the affair he
came known yesterday.
A new theory regarding the stealing of the
bonds is now gaining ground in the minds of
the bank officers. 1t is thought that Nc
Neally did not know the combination of the
steel chest in the inner safe as was first sup-
posed but that he stole the Sls5, 900 in regis
tered bonds, and the S9l, 900 In municipal
railroad and other bonds on the first dav az
August when he and Treasurer Kelly were
engaged in cutting coupons. II this is so it
is not to be wondered at that he complained
of his head swapping" while engaged in
adding long columns of figures in the count
ing room of the bank during the past month.
There are several DEVELOPMENTS in the case
which make such a theory seem credible, the
most important Of which is that had he
known the combination Of the steel chest
and opened it, he could have obtained pos
session of hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of negotiable securities. He had no
scruples against cleaning out all the money
ia the cash drawer, and it seems improbable
that he would have left fortune behind
him if it had been within his power to seize
it.
Besides, when Mr.. Kelly opened the chest,
in the presence of President Goodale, Tues
day morning, everything was to all appear
ances, just as it had been left the previous
day. The bonds and other securities were
all IN their places, and not thing appeared
10 have been molested since the first
day OF August, when the coupons
were cut from the bonds. AS
claimed: Everything here is all right; he
hasn't opened this" 1t was not until care
ful Investigation of the bonds therein con-
tanned was made that the loss was dscov-
cred: The $1S5,000 in registered government
bonds made a package no larger than a good
sized pocket book. and the $4,000 in other
bonds could also have been easily concealed
in an inside coat pocket. In place of the
missing bonds was found dummy" in the
shape of a package of old letters, which
would prevent suspicion being aroused by a
hasty glance at the interior of the chest
This fact gives the new theory considerable
weight. 1t is thought by some that when he
took the registered bonds he did not under
stand their worthessness in the hands of
others than the bank treasurer, and that af-
ter becoming acquainted with that fact he
dld not fnd opportunity to replace them in
the chest, as it was always kept locked ex-
cept the first day of each month when cou-
pOnS were cut. 1t is known that the clerk
was aware that the registered bonds were
not negotiable because in conversation with
SacO young man, recently, touching the re-
sponSibility of bank clerk, he said: ''0h,
there is not as much real cash in there as the
documents represent. tFOr instance, there
is large amount of United States registered
bonds, and they are worth no more to any
body, but the bank than so much brown pa

THE LEAGUE MEETING

At the league meeting in Lynn Wednesday
night the two protests Lynn had against
Portland were discussed. The one that
was made on the strength Of Fessenden's
bet was not put to vote. as it was shown
that there was nothing TO 1t. On the forfeit
ed gsme Lowell and Haverhill voted with
Lynn, notwithstanding the fact that the
Lowell Sun said 1t would be meaner than
trying to rob blind man to try to rob Port
land OF this game. But 1t was tie, as Sa-
lem and Manchester voted with Portland.
The protested game Of May Goth between
the Manchesters and Lowells which had at a
previous meeting been ordered to be played
over, was brought up and discussed, and
laid on the table again. At a future meet.
ing, however, the decision may be rendered,
as the Manchesters claim TO be able to show
that the former vote was an injustice. The
protest Of Salem against Lowell was dis
cussed. An application for the admission
Of Worcester to the league for next season
was received from w. W. Burnham, and al.
so from Il. ]. Leonard and 4. G. Seelee. The
applications were laid on the table.
